This paper is concerned with nodal points, isolated points and cusp points (PD) appearing on a locus of period-doubling bifurcation points and the accurate location of them. Such points can be observed in periodic differential systems (e.g., Duffing's equation) in nonlinear oscillations. In a suitable two-dimensional parameter-plane, such points can be formulated as double (singular) points of plane curves defined by a bifurcation equation, and a method for computing them is proposed.
